Crew Overson created trains on which they wrote their own individual pledges that they will follow to ensure their crew is the best it can be!
The children then wrote words and phrases about what their crew means to them onto train tracks.
Their final task was to build a bridge using various resources that needed to be strong enough to hold a toy train.
Well done Mrs Overson’s superstars!!
Crew Overson loved being historians!
On Friday, in groups of three, they received a mystery envelope containing different words, names and pictures relating to different trains and the Industrial Revolution.
Each group researched the train or topic they’d received and they worked collaboratively within their groups to create posters which they then presented to the class.
Today Crew Overson used different techniques to create super pieces of art work using watercolour paints.
They loved how using salt with the paints, ‘bubbled up and made a bumpy texture’ and how using the candle was ‘cool’ because it was ‘exciting waiting to see what it looked like when we painted over it.’
Mrs Overson and myself are so proud of you all!
Help! All of the witches and wizards of Green Top have escaped!
If you see them, please do not approach them or try to use magic to capture them – they may be dangerous!
Watch the video and let us know of their whereabouts!
What a day we have had! Today we became scientists investigating materials and their properties! We even explored the periodic table! It was great fun investigating reversible and irreversible change – we loved melting the wax into a liquid and seeing it set back into a solid! Finally, we had so much fun using the electrical equipment making circuits to light bulbs and using switches to control the circuits; the buzzers were noisy but great fun!
Take a look at what we got up to:

Dear Parents,
We are so excited about our first school trip as year 5 next week to HARRY POTTER STUDIO TOUR (LONDON) – Thursday 16th September 2021.
We would just like to remind you of the following:
The coaches will leave school at 7.30am – please arrive at your classroom by 7am.
The coaches will return to school at approximately 7pm (we will keep you informed via text).
Please take into account the length of the day we will be out when packing lunches. Children will require extra food in their packed lunch – eg. Cereal bar in the morning, normal packed lunch and a snack prior to leaving the studio plus at least 3 drinks. Pupils entitled to Free School Meals will be provided with a packed lunch from school including all above snacks.
Children need to wear their school jumper/cardigan and top, jogging bottoms / leggings and comfortable footwear.
We will have the opportunity to visit the Harry Potter Studios shop, we ask that children take no more than £20. Please ensure that their money is in a named wallet / purse.
Children MUST NOT bring a mobile phone on the visit but they are welcome to bring a camera (they will need to look after it themselves). They may also bring a book or something to do on the coach that isn’t electronic.
Finally, if your child suffers from travel sickness, please ensure that they take their tablet before arriving at school and then bring one in a named envelope for the return journey.
Yours sincerely
K Overson
Y5/6 Phase Leader
Year 5/6 have had a magical day today experiencing lots of different Harry Potter themed lessons! Check out our day below!
Keep an eye out for our ‘behind the magic’ video coming soon too!
We have just LOVED today!!! Take a look at the fun we have had!
Year 5/6 have had an awesome day today! They started the day selecting their house team from the sorting hat before attending Hogwarts for the day. They attended a potions class, a transfiguration lesson, played Quidditch, made magic and battled their fears in a defence against the dark arts class! I can’t wait to see the wonderful videos Mr Taylor and Miss Knowles are putting together……watch this space!
